Halo!
We woke up this morning, and the view at breakfast was STUNNING, and then we all packed into the cars and headed to the House of Hope, Dave gave a really good talk on leadership accountability and everyone seemed to really learn from it, we played this game where we had groups of people that all had to stand on towels and the goal is to flip the towel without stepping off of it, if you do you are out. For lunch, the field workers and staff at House of Hope took the team out to lunch at this really cool cafe with amazing food! I had the chicken Katsu bowl. The kids here are truly special. The joy that they exhibit and the love they show for the Lord along with their willingness to worship is so cool. Some of our team gave the girls here a spa day, painting their nails and washing their hands and feet, and Josh made some really good cookies. The pickleball tournament did have to get moved due to the rain. Dave and Natalie dragged Corban and I out to watch the kids play soccer, and we got soaked by the rain. After dinner, Meeka worked to teach some of the kids (and some staff) how to play the violin! I can’t wait to see what else God will do in the kids and the staffs lives here at House of Hope and I can’t wait to see what the rest of this trip will have in store for the team!
